One time I trusted a stranger'Cause I heard his sweet songIt was gently enticing meBut there was something wrongAnd when I turnedHe was goneBlinding meHis song remains reminding meHe's a bandit and a heartbreakerMy Jesus was a cross maker

Sweet silver angels over the seaPlease come down flying low for me

He wages war with the devilWith a pistol by His sideHe's always chasing him out of windowsAnd He won't give him a place to hideBut he keeps His doorOpen wideFighting himHe lights a lamp inviting himHe's a bandit and a heartbreakerMy Jesus was a cross makerYeah, Jesus was a cross maker

I heard the thunder come rumblin'The light never looked so dimI see the junction get nearerAnd danger is in the windAnd either road's lookin' grim

Hidin' me, I flee, desire dividin' meHe's a bandit and a heartbreaker.Oh, but Jesus was a cross makerYes, Jesus was a cross maker
